<u>Answer;</u>

Reflective surface

<u>Explanation;</u>

Reflection is one of the property of a wave that occurs when a wave hits a boundary which is a reflective surface. The wave bounces off upon hitting the reflective boundary, such that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Therefore, ice is an example of a reflective surface as light waves bounces off and radiate back when they hit the surface of the ice.

A thin layer of liquid methylene iodide (n = 1.756) is sandwiched between two flat, parallel plates of glass (n = 1.50). What mu

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

t = 96.1 nm

Explanation:

For strong reflection through liquid layer we know that the path difference between two reflected light rays must be integral multiple of wavelength

now we know that the path difference of two reflected light from thin liquid layer is given as

$2\mu t - \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda$

here we know that

$\mu = 1.756$

t = thickness of layer

N = 0 (for minimum thickness of layer)

$\lambda = 675 nm$

now we have

$2(1.756) t = \frac{675 nm}{2}$

$t = 96.1 nm$

The current in some DC circuits decays according to the function I=I0e−t/τ, where I is the current at some point in time, I0 is

almond37 [142]

Answer: 1.95

Explanation:

You should start off from the decay formula and solve for τ:

$I = I_{0}e^{\frac{t}{\tau\\ } }$

$\frac{I}{I_{0}} = e^{\frac{-t}{\tau} }$

Apply inverse logarithmic function:

$ln(\frac{0.2 A}{1.2 A} ) = \frac{-t}{\tau}$

The final form will be:

$\tau=\frac{-3.5s}{ln(\frac{0.2A}{1.2A} )}$

Inputing values for I, IO, and t:

$\tau=\frac{-3.5S}{ln(\frac{0.2 A}{1.2 A} )} = 1.95$

It takes a minimum distance of 76.50 m to stop a car moving at 15.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass

Vinvika [58]

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at 32.0 m/s is 348.3 m.

<h3>Acceleration of the car </h3>

The acceleration of the car before stopping at the given distance is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2as

when the car stops, v = 0

0 = u² + 2as

0 = 15² + 2(76.5)a

0 = 225 + 153a

-a = 225/153

a = - 1.47 m/s²

<h3>Distance traveled when the speed is 32 m/s</h3>

If the same force is applied, then acceleration is constant.

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 32² + 2(-1.47)s

2.94s = 1024

s = 348.3 m

A sound wave has a frequency of 425 hz. what is the period of this wave? 0.00235 seconds 0.807 seconds 425 seconds 850 seconds

77julia77 [94]

The period of the sound wave at the given frequency is determined as 0.00235 second.

<h3>Period of the sound wave</h3>

The period of the sound wave at the given frequency is calculated as follows;

Period is reciprocal of frequency.

T = 1/f

T = 1/425

T = 0.00235 second

Thus, the period of the sound wave at the given frequency is determined as 0.00235 second.
